NUCLEAR
FACILITIES IN IRAN ARE CAUSING CANCER
It has been
found out that several people working in a nuclear facility
located at the foot of Mount Alborz in Iran , stated to be
one of the biggest nuclear power plants in the country, have
lost their lives after developing leukemia. It is stated
that the Iranian Leadership has kept secret the number of
workers and technical staff who had been working in these
facilities and lost their lives for lung, skin and thyroid
cancers, along with leukemia. Moreover, available
information indicates that the government has paid a great
amount of compensations to the families of the victims “on
the condition that they should not speak in public.”
Meanwhile,
it is reported that the facility that is located on the side
of the Alborz Mountain Range facing “The Tehran Lavizan
Lowlands” has caused grave damages to the environment and
that the Tehran Municipality has cut a total of 1000 trees
in the region. It is stated that the municipal authorities
that had to make a statement upon the intensive reactions
coming from the surrounding settlements, claiming that “they
had taken the instructions from the Iranian Nuclear Energy
Agency .” Experts underline that the reason why the Iranian
Nuclear Energy Agency had unlawfully cut the trees was to
avoid the radioactivity test that the International Atomic
Energy Agency would perform on the trees.
Asserting
that it has been carrying out nuclear activities for
peaceful purposes, the failure of the Iranian Leadership to
take any measures in regard with the highly radioactive
wastes generated by nuclear power plants attracts the
reaction of regional people and neighboring countries. As a
matter of fact, nuclear wastes constitute a fatal risk
against people due to the highly radioactive beams that they
radiate. Meanwhile, it is underlined that particularly the
facility that is located at the foot of the Alborz Mountain
Range along the Caspian Sea could create pollution in the
Caspian Sea , therefore generating grave health problems in
countries benefiting from the mentioned sea.
